    Clear coat dilemma

    In March I bought a new 08 Ford hybrid that I like a lot. Since then I've been trying to learn as much as I can about detailing trying to make my new hybrid look as good as possible and thanks to AG I've come a long way. The problem I have now is the orange peel. I thought a reputable paint &...

    Scotchgard or 303 Fabric Guard?

    Thanks for the comments. Maybe I used too much SG causing the carpet to stiffen? I ordered some 303 to try out this weakened. I'll be detailing my parents old Saturn. It’s an old car they never drive. The interior is pretty bad and the leather seats are dry as a bone. The Saturn should be a...

    Scotchgard or 303 Fabric Guard?

    I recently shampooed the carpet of my new car and then used Scotchgard. The problem with Scotchgard is it made my carpet much stiffer (took the softness out). Is this common and is there a way to reverse it? Is Scotchgard the best or would 303 Fabric Guard work better even though its description...

    Because Roll-Off is a concentrate would it work if I used it in the foam gun rather than a spray bottle?

    Carpet cleaner question

    That makes sense using the LGM as a rinse. My goal is to let the LGM do all the work as it has the little motorized brush. Do use the attached brush or do it all by hand and then rinse and do you use a scotch guard?

    Carpet cleaner question

    I just bought the Bissell little green machine and it works great (for me). I would prefer not to use the cleaning solution made by Bissell, but rather the DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner as it sounds like a great product. My question is; can the DP be mixed with h2o and if so what solution do...

    I'll post some pics, but any washer that fits the backing plate and is at least 1/8 in thick will work. just take the plate to your local hardware store and find a couple washer that fit.

    OK,I’ve got the whole washer PC thing figured out. :applause: I honestly couldn't understand why a small washer would make such a difference and actually thought it was just an extra part. The washer simply prevents the rivets on top of the backing plate from hitting the counterweight. That’s...

    The counterweight was attached but i did not attach the washer so I'm pretty sure it's the washer but I won’t know for sure until tomorrow. I'll let you know if it works or not.

    Hard to imagine a washer could make such big difference, but I can't wait to try it. I’m still working on my little detail cart. Found some smaller spray bottles, a few squeeze bottles, and a labeling tool so I don’t clean my leather seats with a degreaser! I also picked up a new shop VAC...

    Thank you all for your comments! Truls, you're right about the asphalt. I wasn't really thinking about it but luckily I laid all my mf towels on top of an old one I keep of the paint, but I will be more careful in the future. Thanks. Nica, after all that taping I'm just going to handout gift...

    This is my new 08 Ford hybrid which was the main reason for joining AG. I received my new PC Menzerna Maximum Shine Kit, Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax, and Souveran Liquid Spray Wax on Friday so I couldn’t wait to try it all out. First I washed it with DP then I used a clay bar from Mothers...
